The Marty Gear Costuming Arts and Sciences Fund provides grants for
innovative projects and activities that promote the art and science of costuming, either in a
specific locale or the community as a whole.

The Fund was established in 2014, and is named in honor of Marty Gear, a founder of the ICG and
a strong supporter of costumers branching out and trying new things. It is supported by a combination
of ICG membership dues, and the generosity of individual and institutional donors. Please consider
making a tax-deductible donation.

This page provides information about the Fund, how to apply for a grant, the rules
under which the Fund operates, and projects and activities that are supported by the Fund.
